A reader sent a link to the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2 June 2025<\/p>\n<div class=\"lead\">\n<p>Thanks to the recent weakness of the US dollar the euro could \u201cplay a greater international role\u201d as it gains importance in the global financial system. This view is being advanced by Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB). As Lagarde stated last week, the US dollar\u2019s share of global currency reserves has fallen to 58 per cent, the lowest since 1994. In the current weakness of the dollar she sees as an opportunity for the euro. Bewildered by Donald Trump\u2019s economic policies, both private investors and governments may be motivated to keep their reserves in euros. However, the Eurozone would still need, said Lagarde, a \u201csolid and credible geopolitical foundation\u201d for this enhanced role \u2013 a foundation cemented with strong military capabilities. She went on to say that the European Union would finally have to create the long-promised single capital market and gain greater effectiveness by widening the scope of majority decision-making. Parallel to Lagarde\u2019s ambitious plans for Europe\u2019s economy, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is advocating \u201cEuropean independence\u201d from the United States as the next \u201cmajor European project\u201d. This, again, would mean \u201ca leading role in the global economy of tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-text-wrap\">\n<h3>The weakening dollar<\/h3>\n<p>The current weakness of the US dollar has been the subject of intense debate since the world\u2019s reserve currency began its sharp descent back in March. While 1.02 dollars were enough to buy one euro at the beginning of February, it now takes almost 1.14 dollars.\u00a0 &#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Opportunities for the euro<\/h3>\n<p>The dollar\u2019s weakness and its consequences were addressed last Monday by Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), in a speech at the Hertie School in Berlin. Lagarde placed currency problems in the broader context of current global political and economic developments. \u201cMultilateral cooperation is being replaced by zero-sum thinking and bilateral power games,\u201d Lagarde observed, so open markets were giving way to national protectionism. This posed major risks for the entire European Union, she said, since \u201cour economy is deeply integrated into the global trading system, with exports accounting for close to one fifth of our value added\u201d and supporting 30 million jobs.\u201d[2] On the other hand, this trend also offered unexpected opportunities for the euro, she argued. There was currently \u201cuncertainty\u201d about \u201cthe dominant role of the US dollar,\u201d explained the ECB President, which \u201ccould open the door for the euro to play a greater international role.\u201d At present, only 20 per cent of all currency reserves worldwide are held in euros, compared with 58 per cent in US dollars. But a prolonged period of dollar weakness could, start shifting the balance significantly in favour of the European single currency.<\/p>\n<h3>Stronger foundations<\/h3>\n<p>In her speech, Lagarde pointed out that \u201cincreasing the international role of the euro can have positive implications for the euro area\u201d by making it possible for governments and businesses to \u201cborrow at lower cost, helping boost internal demand at a time when external demand is becoming less certain.\u201d[3] In addition, a larger volume of trade could be conducted in euros, which would give the EU greater independence. All of this would also provide greater protection \u201cfrom sanctions and other coercive measures,\u201d a clear reference to new ways of warding off US attacks in the current context of a global economic war. Lagarde stressed that this would only happen if the euro was made more attractive to investors and governments by working on its fundamentals. A \u201csolid and credible geopolitical foundation\u201d and \u201ca steadfast commitment to open trade\u201d were indispensable, she said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.german-foreign-policy.com\/en\/news\/detail\/9995\">https:\/\/www.german-foreign-policy.com\/en\/news\/detail\/9995<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I reported about some of the above previously (see\u00a0<a title=\"Permanent Link to European Central Banks states that the Euro could dethrone the US dollar if Europe develops a stronger military\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/european-central-banks-states-that-the-euro-could-dethrone-the-us-dollar-if-europe-develops-a-stronger-military\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">European Central Banks states that the Euro could dethrone the US dollar if Europe develops a stronger military<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that the Europeans have long wanted the euro to push the US dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status aside.

Daniel 11:39) or the Arab world (cf. Daniel 11:40-43). &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The USA dollar will ultimately crash and be worthless. That \u201cpride\u201d of American power will be broken (cf. Leviticus 26:19). &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>European leaders have been working for years to establish a new reserve currency for the world, partially with the intent to remove the USA dollar from its current position as a reserve currency.<\/p>\n<p>Those in Russia, Iran and some of the Arab lands, along with nations such as Brazil and India have discussed plans for the removal of the dominance of the USA dollar in global trade as well. Many are now working on that, along with China, in what is called the BRICS alliance.While Donald Trump did not cause all of this, an unintended consequence of the use of sanctions in the Trump-Pence Administration (as well as by the Biden-Harris Administration) is that more nations are looking to bypass the dollar. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>When the U.S. dollar is no longer the world\u2019s reserve currency, this will hurt the USA financially. Increasing debt, including \u201cquantitative easing,\u201d is a form of dishonest profits that is not something that God approves of and will punish the USA for (cf. Ezekiel 22:13-16). &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Since many are now questioning the role of the USA\u00a0dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as gold.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gold will set records in U.S. dollar terms. &#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When the U.S.\u00a0dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the euro (or something similar)\u00a0is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer.<\/p>\n<p>The collapse of the USA dollar will shake a lot of the world\u2019s confidence in non-gold backed currencies. The Europeans do not have to have a perfect currency, only one that is perceived to be in better shape than the USA dollar or various other currencies.<\/p>\n<p>Having the European power acquiring more gold to back the Euro or possibly another future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe, even if the backing is only implied. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The USA and its dollar are at serious risk. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unintended Consequences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Donald Trump seems to believe that his policies are best for the United States, notice some unintended consequences of them: &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pushing tariffs and sanctions on other countries is contributing to the rise of the final time of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24; Ezekiel 7:24).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA<\/strong>. This will further push various globalist\u2019s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade. &#8230;<a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pushing against Europe\u2019s unity is encouraging the Europeans, which are prophesied to have unity difficulties (cf. Daniel 2:41-43), to try harder to unify, which will happen after at least two reorganizations (Revelation 17:12-13).<\/li>\n<li>By breaking political norms and acting like a \u2018strong man\u2019 this will help Europeans being more accepting of their beast \u2018strong man\u2019 (Revelation 13:1-10; 17:13).<\/li>\n<li>Donald Trump\u2019s statements will help promote the rise of stronger European leaders like Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.<\/li>\n<li>Although, overall, the European nations have not paid for their defense to the amount they have suggested they would, pressuring them to spend more will 1) encourage them to be independent of the USA and 2) put Europe in a position where it has a great army (Daniel 11:25), many ships (Daniel 11:40), and access to nuclear weapons (cf. Deuteronomy 29:23-25; Isaiah 9:19-21;Ezekiel 6:6), which will help it conquer the USA, which is the military power with the strongest fortresses (cf.

In this video Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie went over some of the reasons for that development. They also discussed US dominance of SWIFT. SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. SWIFT provides a network that enables financial institutions worldwide to send and receive information about financial transactions. The use of sanctions and the weaponization of SWIFT by the US was brought out as were alternatives to SWIFT development by Russia (System for Transfer of Financial Messages-SPFS) and China (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System-CIPS). Also the BRICS Pay alternative to SWIFT, mentioned at the BRICS Kazan Summit in October 2024 was mentioned as well as \u201cthe Unit\u201d, which is a potential, gold-backed currency that Vladimir Putin brought up as another alternative. An article titled \u2018The Biggest Story that\u2019s NOT Being Told Will WREAK HAVOC on the US Economy\u2019 was discussed along with the specter of extreme inflation hitting the US once its dollar is no longer relied on internationally. The fact that SWIFT is supposed to be a European system, and one that Europeans want more control of, was mentioned along with the fact that the Europeans could also push harder for the end of SWIFT and\/or the US dollar dominance. The timing of the coming Great Tribulation and US banking\/financial matters was also mentioned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is a link to our video: <a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"SWIFT end to the US dollar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZOlIDJ4h4_I\" aria-label=\"SWIFT end to the US dollar by BibleNewsProphecy 37 views 8 hours ago 14 minutes, 50 seconds\">SWIFT end to the US dollar?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The US dollar is going away as the world&#8217;s premier currency and the damage to the US economy is beyond what most of its politicians realize.<\/p>\n<p>But Europe is also looking to increase its military capabilities.<\/p>\n<div data-visibility-tracking=\"CCMQ0h4YACITCOSavLeAttACFY0LTgodO9kDqyibHECRwpuCj_-d-FE=\">\n<div data-visibility-tracking=\"CCMQ0h4YACITCNv804Of-c0CFbEQfgodb5oO3SibHEDPotOdnsTWjcgB\">\n<div data-visibility-tracking=\"CCMQ0h4YACITCOy52qfE580CFUTlfgodnjcAKCibHECZyerNuf7et3g=\">\n<p>Statements and policies by the Trump Administration have strained relations between the USA and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Related to that, we put out the following video:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope ytd-shelf-renderer\">\n<div id=\"scroll-outer-container\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"scroll-container\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"items\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"dismissible\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<p><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint inline-block style-scope ytd-thumbnail\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fqp8fyzMOn8\" rel=\"null\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"yt-core-image yt-core-image--fill-parent-height yt-core-image--fill-parent-width yt-core-image--content-mode-scale-aspect-fill yt-core-image--loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Fqp8fyzMOn8\/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwE2CPYBEIoBSFXyq4qpAygIARUAAIhCGAFwAcABBvABAfgB_gmAAtAFigIMCAAQARhNIGQoZTAP&amp;rs=AOn4CLDP-Lyo4wRjw-vCY1FW5e3ZSkGFdA\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"overlays\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-overlay-badge-shape style-scope ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer\">\n<div class=\"badge-shape-wiz__text\">14:48<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"details\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<div id=\"text-metadata\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<div id=\"meta\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<h3 class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\"><a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"Should Europe Still Consider Itself a US Ally?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fqp8fyzMOn8\" aria-label=\"Should Europe Still Consider Itself a US Ally? by BibleNewsProphecy 31 views 7 hours ago 14 minutes, 48 seconds\">Should Europe Still Consider Itself a US Ally?<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The United States has paused aid to Ukraine.
